I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were quite outdated and not very clean, which was disappointing. On the upside, the location is decent with some shopping options nearby. However, the service left a lot to be desired, and I encountered hidden costs that added to my frustration. Overall, it was not the relaxing getaway I hoped for.

Rooms

The rooms were outdated and had a strong odor upon entry. There were some unwelcomed guests like a gecko on the windowsill and small spiders on the shower curtain. The air conditioning barely worked for my elderly mother, and the microwave wasn’t cleaned properly.

Service

The service was quite rude, lacking a friendly customer service attitude. I felt charged for hidden costs and the staff assumed the wrong reasons for my visit, which made my experience unpleasant.

Location

The location is fairly quiet yet still close to a shopping village with grocery options and a couple of restaurants, which was somewhat convenient for quick getaways.

Dining

Dining options were minimal and not particularly impressive, just basic offerings like toast and cereal without variety.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities could use some improvement. Although there are daily garbage collection bins, the amenities seemed dated and not well-maintained.
